What could be better for the little tykes than turning your hero into one of the undead (Click on the image to see the full cover)
That stare can see into your very soul.... and suck it dry!
A quick recap
Well, I said it was quick....
Sabrina has called on the powers of darkness (I assume) to deal with Zombie Archie... and ends up with...
"My comic has a Zombie Archie Andrews being blasted by magical energy from the enchanted guitars of KISS.... your argument is invalid"
The alternate cover is actually kind of creepy cool, in a cheesy sort of way... And that's actually rather a frightening Archie.

Bwahahahaha! XD
Archie's really trying a lot lately, a gay marriage, a classic character dying of a cancer...and now this!
I'm all up for more mature stories and being relevant and all... but Archie? Really?
And I see it even contains the bonus ZOMBIES! thrown into the mix of this crossover for good measure :P
Smells like a pure marketing move $$$

Date: 2012-01-23 05:39 pm (UTC)The cancer and the gay marriage are parts of a distinct "What if..." scenario series, and those events are non-canonical.
And I think my reaction to them is not "Why is Archie doing such things?" so much as "Why aren't other comic companies doing such things?"

Date: 2012-01-23 05:51 pm (UTC)Personally, I'd rather have a comic company that's not afraid to try new and unexpected things, rather than retreating to familiar grounds over and over again.

And we all know how THAT turned out...
